Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Absolute degenerate.
I have also spent some time screwing around with AI art generators. No way I'm addressing my self as an artist for it. AI art can be useful in certain situations such as whipping together a stupid meme to share between some friends. It's not any talent involved, and it's not something you should consider as copyright worthy.
Creating nice art is available to anyone. It just require some creativity and talent if you want to love of it. Being an artist is not some basic human right. As plenty of "artists" believe.
i mean, it IS art. you are just using a tool that makes it much much easier to put your mind into the screen.
art is a process not a thing on a screen. get rid of the tension between idea and realisation and you get rid of most of what is interesting about art. (besides i'm sorry for your mind if your imagination is adequately represented by the output of stock image generators.)
ai art is also a process, albeit a different one. its not easy to get good creative results.
i'd tend to agree if we were talking about something that is actually interesting instead of an incredibly generic piece of kitsch art.
hence why you need actual creativity
